I actually gifted a copy of that to my girlfriend at the time. She was never a big classical music fan, though.
Yes, the SFS made a ton of recordings with Monteux, although as Canarina relates in his bio of Monteux - the record companies wanted HIM, not the SFS. Standards apparently dropped substantially under Jorda, of course, and he was clearly not a major figure.
I had a embarrassing moment in the 80s when I worked with Jorda's nephew, who mentioned that his uncle used to conduct the SFS - names were different, so I couldn't make the connection until he told me.
